Fortunately I carry Arnica montana, a homeopathic remedy (for bruising, muscle tears and shock) with me. Within half ana hour I gave myself a dose (3 pills internally). The sprain (not a fracture - i was X rayed that same afternoon) was one of the most severe I have ever experienced. It was a grade 2, not a grade 3 (which is a total rupture of the ligament). After leaving A&E I was turfed out, off the hospital wheelchair, into the wide world, no crutches, nothing. Not even pain killers. Any docot worhti his'her experiecne would have prescribed arnica and given me a crutch (just one, please?). But my steady minimal dose of arnica over the last week have seen me recover really well. I am now walking unaided, and this after a sprain that saw me unable to put any weight on the left foot. Arnica works - I have used it for years, on my child when she had scrapes and bruises (she was an ice skater), on my friends when hiking in the mountains........it works, it works, it works. And you can call "placebo" all you like. I've tested that. Arnica, as a homeopathic remedy WORK! The medical research community is increasingly in league with the major pharmaceutical companies who feel threatened that their vast profits will be reduced by cheaper effective remedies. I cannot say the same for all homeopathic remedies, but this I know, Arnica montana is a miraculous remedy, reducing trauma, bruising and internal bleeding and facilitating rapid recovery. My left ankle is proof if ever I needed it. The science of homeopathy has not been proved or disproved. We don't know everything. Empirical evidence on homeopathic treatment speaks for itself. It can work. The NHs should take such empirical evidence as proof enough of effective and cheaper treatment and continue supporting it. Maybe they can buy a few more crutches too.

While a flight from Pittsburgh to New York was taxiing on the runway around noon yesterday, as is the custom on planes everywhere, a passenger jumped up to get her belongings from the overhead before the captain had turned off the seat belt sign. Slater asked her to sit down. The passenger refused, and her luggage hit Slater in the head. And when Slater's demand for an apology was allegedly met with a "Fuck you," he didn't respond with a tight-slipped smile and a "Buh bye."

Instead, he got on the plane's public address system, and as the plane pulled up to the gate, said something to the effect of, "To the fucking asshole that told me to fuck off, it’s been a good 28 years!" He then grabbed some beer off the beverage cart, activated the inflatable evacuation slide, slid off the plane, ran to the parking lot and drove home. When officials caught up with him to arrest him for his shenanigans, he was allegedly having sex with his boyfriend.
